Five star review for Kemper system hotel refurbishment

Latest News Mon, Aug 1, 2022 8:30 AM

The prestigious Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel in Birmingham has benefitted from a durable cold-applied liquid waterproofing solution thanks to Kemper System.

A solution from the liquid-applied membrane specialist was used by contractors, Whitestone Property Services (Midlands) Ltd to refurbish the 254 sq. m roof at the highend country club and hotel.

The existing single-ply roof, which comprised extensive plant and surface units, had experienced severe water ingress due to a number of vulnerable laps and seams around multiple penetrations.

Working during winter months, contractors specified Kemper System’s Kemperol V210M for its ease of application and fast curing properties, as well as its durability and versatility.

The cold-applied liquid solution was an obvious choice for this project. One of the main benefits is it can be applied very quickly and easily using a roller. This provided the contractor with the speed and flexibility to complete the job on time as they had limited daylight working hours. The contractor also had to be respectful of the hotel’s guests as the building was still occupied during the refurbishment works.

This was a challenging project due to the vast amount of plant on the roof. A decision was made to overlay Kemperol V210M on top of the single ply. Another challenge was access – the contractor was unable to enter the hotel so the scaffolding was the safest option. Transporting huge amounts of sheeting or other materials would have created health and safety risks, so Kemper System’s two-component solution adapted perfectly.

Contractors erected an up-and-over scaffold on the hotel’s roof to create a safe access route to the site.

The V210M liquid-applied membrane was applied ‘wet on wet’ in a single process using a reinforcement fleece. Once cured, the resin formed a seamless and elastomeric membrane that cannot delaminate.

As an extremely prestigious hotel a lot of thought had to go into the design and specification stages. Kemperol V210M is cold-applied, avoiding any risks relating to hot works, and can be applied quickly. It is also UV stable and more suitable for complex details, providing a completely seamless membrane encompassing the entire roof area.
